What we want but hasn't been invented yet!
« on: 30 November 2014, 10:42:55 am »
Due to a discussion on here, about how to solve the riddle of steamed up glasses, got me thinking about what we really want, but for whatever reason, mankind hasn't quite fathomed out yet?


I'll start the ball rolling with:


Diet, healthy alcohol :b

I saw a fella the other day in the doorway of the pub having a 'phone' conversation with his mum on his watch.
Clever concept, but my word did he look like a complete bell end.
Speaking into his wrist was one thing, but then shoving it into his ear to hear the response was just priceless to view.


After 2 minutes of me staring at him in jest he kinda felt a bit stupid eventually, and deservedly so.  :rolleyes

It's the quirky things in life that I can never manage to think of from the top of my head... my immediate response to this was cheap, clean fuel :\

Would that not be called electricity?

A fully automated workplace and a state that comfortably supports us because we don't have to work anymore. In other words, when they started replacing the workforce with robots, if they'd come up with a good plan for what everyone would do to live as well. As far as I can see, it'll only get worse.

A nice thought, but you always need human intervention, as things always foc up at some stage.
Plus, can you imagine how many people would be milling about wondering what to do with their time?
I'd never be out of the pub!  :b

For the past ten years I've been working on frostfree Tarmac, and for the past three years I've used it on my drive and surrounding roads which has been very successful. I used this in a spray format which lasts ten times as long than salt and grit but the true test is on the roads where traffic wear will be probably the deciding factor. I have also used this formula on pavements and even with a few inches of snow it has remained not just snow and frost free but also dry. I have just started to mix this in with the Tarmac to see what longevity this will have but testing this method  is proving to be very expensive. This would be a revelation in road surfacing world wide and paramount to road safety during winter months.

I know this will carry huge costs for all the councils and local authorities to convert the traditional grit lorries to a liquid spraying solution and resurfacing all the roads if my Tarmac mix works, but millions is spent each year and is more a reactive  solution where my Tarmac mix is proactive and permanent. This means that even sudden heavy snow falls it doesn't lie and instantly dries too.

However I am convinced that I am really onto something and the Canadian authorities have indicating they could provide funding for the final testing on a stretch on one of their roads.

It's an exciting time for me and have set up a company to do more testing and market this worldwide.

As fellow bikers I'm sure you would agree it would transform winter biking.

In the Welsh mountains a while back it seemed that most rock salt that was spread to stop the ice was being washed off by small rain showers or blown off by passing traffic ,  so the clever people who are paid to think of a way out decided to mix the slat with molasses, a sticky sugary substance, it was soon deemed a failure as all the sheep and wild ponies from thre Brecon beacons were lined up along the center of the roads licking this delicious substance off the roads :lol

That's the hard bit, all patents are pending at the moment, I didn't believe how hard it would be. Tarmac is a patented brand and been to see them but all they want is my recipe for their own testing.....aye right!!!!! Inventing a new type of road surface is virtually impossible but I'm sure a deal could be done with Tarmac but they're play hardball at the moment.

Even the gtitter lorry spreading mechanism is patented along with a whole load of other shit in processing......that's why it's taking so long........dragons den beckons

I'd like some shares in BBB's invention!

A automated highway system that would self-operate, provide the power for vehicles on its grid, and not have any accidents. Imagine the highways in "I, Robot" without the going vertical bits, and without the psychotic lorries!
